Missouri Pheasant

[Jon]

I'm on vacation this week for deer season but I'm planning on doing some pheasant hunting also. I've only hunted private land in Missouri but since my job change, I've lost my contact for this. I've targeted Poosey or Bilby ranch. Has anyone here hunted these in the past or even this year? Kinda looking for a report on these areas. Are there any food plots for birds ect. Any info will be helpful. even if someone has a better location, gotta be public though.

Thanks, Jon.

You can try New Madrid co. in the bootheel. There are still a few birds left there. If you go put on your walking boots because you might have to walk aways to find them. I think season in the south starts Dec. 1. Lots of quail this year due to farmers switching from cotton to grain.

Maybe some birds out at Pony Express.

My wife got in a pheasant hunting class put on by the conservation department this year. She got 1 male and then she went to another class by conservation on how to mount a pheasant. Attached is the bird in progress and then the finished product. It is my understanding that MDC does a few of these every year for women and kids

The MDC does a lot of these kind of things for women and kids, but why don't they do any for men or for anyone that want to? Most of the "classes and clinics" that the MDC does that I would like to do are for women or kids only.
